POISON

Chemicals in my veins 
I don’t even know what it contains  
We're all living in fear 
in this crazy year 
Chains are holding us down 
At help we frown 
Can't live life alone 
But can’t figure that out 
Don't know what’ll come next 
People are perplexed 
Politicians speak their lies 
Don't care who dies 
Long as they get their fame and fortune 
Long as they get double their portion 
They'll sell you anything just to make some money 
They'll sell you anything and say you gotta put it in your body 
But I don’t want that junk inside my system 
 And though I may be young- 
You say I'm naive 
I got a mind 
I got a say 
Not going to pay their price tag 
I'm going to live life my own way 
I only got one 
One soul 
One body 
One mind  
And I don’t mind if you mind 
But this ain’t your body 
That you would be killing 
This ain’t your mind that you would be filling (with lies) 
So until the night or day I die 
I will live life 
I will be me 
I will be free from the ways you wish to poison me
